Looking for Trouble

Looking for Trouble by Victoria Dahl

My rating:

3 stars—I liked it.

My Thoughts:

Steamy! The librarian and the bad boy theme…

Description from Goodreads.com:

“Librarian Sophie Heyer has walked the straight and narrow her entire life to avoid paying for her mother's mistakes. But in tiny Jackson Hole, Wyoming, juicy gossip just doesn't go away, so the last thing she needs is for history to repeat itself. Falling hard for the sexiest biker who's ever rode into town would undo everything she's worked for. And to add insult to injury, the sexy stranger is none other than Alex Bishop--the son of the man her mother abandoned Sophie's family for. He may be temptation on wheels, but Sophie's not looking for trouble!

Maybe Sophie's buttoned-up facade fools some, but Alex knows a naughty smile when he sees one. Despite their parents' checkered pasts, he's willing to take some risks to find out the truth about the town librarian. He figures a little fling might be just the ticket to get his mind off of family drama. But what he finds underneath Sophie's prim demeanor might change his world in ways he never expected.”

So Tough to Tame

So Tough to Tame by Victoria Dahl

Amazon Description:

“Charlie Allington is supposed to be on the fast track to the top—a small-town girl who was making it big in her career. Instead, she's reeling from a scandal that's pretty much burned all her bridges. Now, out of options, she needs a place to lick her wounds and figure out her future. True, working at a ski resort in rugged Jackson Hole, Wyoming, isn't her dream job. But if there's one perk to coming back, it's a certain sexy hometown boy who knows how to make a girl feel welcome. Cowboy Walker Pearce never expected a grown-up Charlie to be temptation in tight jeans. She's smart and successful—way out of league for a man like him. But he's not about to let that, or his secrets, get in the way of their blazing-hot attraction. Yet when passion turns to something more, will the truth—about both of them—send her out of his life for good…or into his arms forever?”

My thoughts:

Dahl is known for her steamy love scenes and this certainly conforms. As for the characters, I didn’t feel a strong emotional connection, but there was a very strong sexual vibe. I didn't love this one.

Real Men Will

Real Men Will by Victoria Dahl

For my friends who like it hot and steamy…

I liked this one but have to mention that the plot is completely ridiculous; the controversy much too contrived. And apparently this is the third in a trilogy...and I didn’t read the first two. Whoops!
